Live Thread: Nets @ Cavs (or, The Donovan Mitchell MVP Agenda)
2025-03-11Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the Brooklyn Nets to the defrosting banks of the Cuyahoga River for a nice Kenny Atkinson revenge game special. Ty Jerome, Donovan Mitchell, and De’Andre Hunter are all out for the Cavs, which means you know what time is… CPJ, JAVONTE GREEN, AND JAYLON TYSON HIVE RISE UP!!! It’s their moment, do they capitalize? Stay tuned…
TONY KORNHEISER JOINS THE SPIDA MVP AGENDA
On today’s episode ESPN’s Pardon The Interruption, legend Tony Kornheiser said that if he were voting for MVP today, he’d vote for Donovan Mitchell. It’s an indictment on the current state of journalism that Kornheiser is the lone voice of sanity in the wilderness. Tip o’ the cap to you, Tony K!!!
Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Fanduel Sports Network, Go Cavs!
Nate’s Notes (pardon the interruption):
The Cavs are favored by 16.5 points over the Nets tonight by the human scum that run legalized gambling in this country. That’s a big number, especially with Hunter and Mitchell being “game time decisions,” and Ty Jerome out for rest. For Brooklyn, only Cam Thomas is on the injured list.
The Nets had only won a single game before they took out the short handed Lakers last night. Yes Luka and the LeBron-less Lake Show shit the bed in classic form as they were led by the absymal Gabe Vincent with 24 points against *checks notes* Noah Clowney (19), Keon Johnson 18), and Cameron Johnson (18). Those numbers are points scored, not ages. The question is, can the Nets summon that energy again, and will the Cavs play hard before the last four minutes of the fourth?
Given they have an extra day off before a four games in six nights stretch rolling right into a West Coast road trip, I’d think the wine and gold would want to get to garbage time early tonight. We shall see if it happens. I agree, Chris. Go Cavs.
MY ALMA MATER JUST WON STATE HS GIRL s BB🏀 CHAMPIONSHIP————“ MORE FRIGGIN BEER 🍺 PLEASE “ 👍🏀👍🏀👍🏀
PUT TT WITH BRAD / AC —— CLEAR UP ANOTHER ROSTER SPOT————- LUKE IS PLAYING ALOT OF PT GD FOR THE CHARGE / IMPROVING HIS HANDLES EVEN MORE —THAT AND WORKING ON HIS 3 PT SHOT COULD LAND HIM A ROSTER SPOT—MAYBE LETTING STRUS GO —- MONEY PURPOSES FOR RETAINING GEM
if they have to trade someone for nothing to construct next years team; Strus makes about 50% than Okoro, but probably gives greater than 50% more value.
Spida OUT tomorrow.
I’d assume Jerome starts. But Hunter at SF with Strus at SG makes some sense. Heck, Merrill even makes some sense.
It’s probably DG, Ice, Strus, Mobes, Allen starting
That also makes sense. With JJJ out, Ja & Bane do most of the scoring.
Is JJJ out? It looked like he was day-to-day.
Pistons lose to the Wiz…
READING WHAT COACHES / PLAYERS ARE SAYING ABOUT NYQUIL ……… “ HE JUST SCRATCHING THE SURFACE OF HOW GOOD HE CAN BE ——- HIS ATHLETICISM— HIS HANDLES / OUTSIDE SHOT —- OFF BALl DRIBBLE FOR A MAN HIS SIZE ARE SCARY——— WHAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED IN 4 MONTHS IS AMAZING “ ——— CAVS MAY HAVE STUMBLED ON SOMETHING SPECIAL!!!
He could be just what the doctor ordered as we hit the second apron. Might make Koby’s job way easier
If he can give us shooting and rebounding as a backup 4, that would be fantastic. We have an open roster spot.
I am all for upgrading TT, keeping Tomlin, and running it back, if we can (Jerome).
I guessif you want to move someone to cut costs, Okoro, Strus, and Wade are your candidates. But I actually like all 3.
me too.
Wade is bargin and we need him.
probably Okoro would be missed the least.
Strus would save more money (I think).
upgrading TT? make him a coach, or get him better meds?
Lol. Get a true C who can fill in for JA. Protect the rim. Lob threat. Perhaps one with a bit more ballast down low.
